  1. Hunted though bookshops in Kathmandu then bargined long and hard for a reasonable price for this beauty.
  2. My Favourite track by Johnson besides "dark was the night....". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-PrIS318V0&feature=related
  3. Spacemen 3 - Transparent Radiation
  4. There are two kinds of people in this world, those who've watched this video and those who havent... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-5MLPzRjls I'm not sure which is better off.
  5. Hugh Laurie's first atempt at playing an american straightman character....
  6. I always assumed that the bonus footage from 69 on the DVD wasnt multitracked so he could have done something similar with 77 as a little bonus. I think the telling reason why 77 may have missed out is that Page did include that audio of the first LA show on the menu. Those shows were legendary the same way the MSG, EC and Knedworth were but while a big event the Silverdome footage like the Kingdom simpley isnt.
  7. SSSLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
  8. Looking it up I was wrong, she's actually 44.
  9. Staci Dash, twice as hot as pretty much everyone half her age at 42.
  10. The only real way to pickout the best Floyd album I'd go with WYWH.
  11. Gilmours first solo album from 1978 is a classic IMHO, better than any Floyd or solo album any of them have released since for me including The Wall. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoA6vidsfO4
  12. No but theres a difference between a healthy level of fat and just plain overweight, whenever someone get promoted as a "real women" recently they tend to be the latter.
  13. The DJ Notes EP Spacemen 3 released last year, the demo of these blues is a real classic.
  14. As an individual track I agree although I think you can argue the album version flows with the other material better. Besides that and Gilmour already having a "jam" track I suspect the reason it was dumped was at much due to the lenght. That version I posted is pretty simple/repetitive so wouldnt have been hard to cut down to 3 mins but by the time they were recording darkside it had become alot more complex. Listening to the version from bobingen 20/5/72 right now, dam that track became a monster jam, one of my favourite live performances by them.
  15. If anyone hasnt heard it heres the original version of On The Run before Darkside was recorded in the studio...
  16. I'v never been much of a fan of the fantasy sequences but generally I think TSRTS's bad reputation(in the UK at least) has alot more to do with the time it was released, such an excessive fiolm/album coming out in late 76 made it a prime target for the punk movement that was just taking off.
  17. Saucerful has some good tracks but I'v always thought that they didnt really get the hang of the studio until More, Set the Controls and the title track were vastly improved live. If you like the "middle" era of Floyd then I'd recommend the Rhino Records rerelease of the Zabriski Point soundtrack, has almost and albums worth of material by the Floyd on it in a similar style to More.
  18. I enjoy the live disk of Ummagumma better than the rest of those but I agree More has some of there ebst studio work from that era. Obviously nice to have two releases but I think they might have been better off combining the better studio cuts from those two albums along with the live disk, say.... The Narrow Way pt 1 Granchester Meadows Circus Minor Main Theme from More Green is the Colour Cymbaline More Blues Dramatic Theme From More The Embyro
  19. Indeed, the number he killed, the abuse of a trusted position and the fact he seemed less mentally unstable than many others with theft seemingly a big motivate.
  20. If your looking to get a modern Jazz album and like King of Blue I'd definately recommend Lontano by the Tomasz Stanko Quartet. The three long versions of the title track are free jazz but generally pretty relaxed and quiet catchy. The other half(which is still an albums worth of material by vinyl stanards since it fills the CD like alot of ECM releases) is much more composed and really does sound like a modern minalistic sucessor to Kind of Blue.
  21. Yeah that albums about as scary as jazz fusion gets, not too far from krautrock. I didnt actually think Miles earlier fusion stuff worked aswell live, needed editting in the studio to give it direction IMHO but he'd hit some great form just before he went into retirement.
  22. Theres the odd track I enjoy(I Talk To The Wind, Lady Fantasy, Aqualung, Fanfair for the Common Man etc) but overall I'm inclined to agree with BIGDAN. Ultimately prog rock wasnt really worthy of its name since it was largely a evolutionary dead end bar a few niche revivalists. I wouldnt say that Pink Floyd fit into the modern narrow definition of Prog either bar maybe parts of Atom Heart Mother(the title track) and Ummagumma(the studio disk). For me the Floyd started off playing the kind of deconstrcuted rock that along with the Velvets gave rise to Krautrock(the truely proggressive/influential rock of the 70's IMHO) then moved onto atmospheric blues rock with a hint of jazz. To me post rock bands like Talk Talk, Bark Psychosis, God Speed You Black Emporer etc do what the prog bands of the 70's were claiming to(mixing rock with classicial and jazz to produce "high" art) but far better being unburdened with needless and tastless virtuosity.
